perhaps, i have misunderstood, but OP did say
"checked the dipstick, it is about 3/4 after 1000 miles."
3/4 on the dipstick in just 1000 miles........ correct me if i am wrong.......
i would not make the comment on the rate of consumption without a solid proof, but considering the fact that his dealership changes every 7500, who knows how much is left or what the repercussions without adding in every so often..... i would hate to even imagine about it...
personally, for it is a new car......... i would never consider adding in additional oil as something tolerable......... just my two cents....
on the other hand, if indeed it is 1/4 qt between oil changes, it would not even be a consideration/problem..... but it so seems, solely based on speculation at this point, it is not 1/4 between oil changes...
having had new car engine issues and having dealt numerous times with dealers, it might be better to go with the lemon. i think it is a win-win situation, for you do not lose anything........it is just that your claim can get rejected at worst........
